Booked for Birthday party
I recently hired a face painting service by Irina for my child's birthday party, and it was an absolute hit! Irina was not only incredibly talented but also great with the kids. She created a wide variety of beautiful and creative designs, from butterflies and unicorns to clowns for older ones.
Irina was professional, punctual, and brought everything needed to create a fun and colourful experience. She was patient and kind, ensuring every child had a chance to get their face painted. The paints used were high-quality and safe for the kids' skin, and they washed off easily at the end of the day.
Overall, the face painting added so much joy and excitement to the party. The kids absolutely loved it, and it made the event even more memorable. I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to add a special touch to their celebration!

Natalie was amazing, the quality of her face painting was incredible, there wasn't anything that she couldn't do so every child go what they wanted. She got through 20 kids in less than 2 hours and that is incredible, she didn't stop! All the mums at the party asked for her number and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!

Booked for Other Event
Cora from Abracadabra Aberdour came into my workplace to paint the faces of around 20 adults before we marched together in the Edinburgh Pride march. Cora arrived early, was super friendly and incredibly talented. So much so, that we have booked her for another event this week!
Highly recommend, and will continue to use Cora/Abracadabra Aberdour in the future.
Thank you for making the day so special

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Multicultural Community Events. Birmingham is celebrated for its rich cultural diversity. A face painter at a community event is a wonderful way to celebrate heritage and art, offering designs that can reflect different cultures, festivals, and stories in a fun and accessible way.
School Fêtes and Summer Fairs. No school fête is complete without a face painting stall! It's always the busiest spot on the field, bringing in crowds and adding a huge dose of colour and fun to the day’s festivities.
Corporate Open Days. Inviting families into the workplace? A face painter is a fantastic way to show your company’s family-friendly side. It keeps the little ones entertained during tours and presentations at offices or conference venues, making everyone feel welcome.
Popular Paint Themes for Your Brum Bash
Today’s face painters are creative wizards, capable of turning a cheek into a canvas for almost any idea. Here are some of the themes that are a massive hit at parties across Birmingham.
Animals & Safari. A timeless classic for a reason! Let your guests go on an adventure by transforming them into majestic lions, cheeky monkeys, or graceful giraffes. It's perfect for sparking imaginative play.
Superheroes. From the iconic symbols of global heroes to their powerful masks, a face painter can help every child channel their inner champion and feel ready to save the day.
Butterflies & Florals. Elegant, beautiful, and always in demand. These designs are often embellished with gems and glitter, creating a delicate and magical look that children and adults adore.
Comic Book. For something a bit different, why not bring the pages of a graphic novel to life? Think bold, pop-art designs, dramatic expressions, and explosive "POW!" and "BAM!" effects. It’s a super cool and creative theme that really stands out.
The Bottom Line: Face Painting Costs in Birmingham
We know that budget is a key part of any event plan. So, what should you expect to pay for a professional face painter in Birmingham? The good news is that it’s an incredibly affordable way to add a huge amount of entertainment value. The typical price range is between £90 and £135.
This fee will almost always cover a two-hour session, which is the perfect amount of time to paint around 20-25 guests. This price is inclusive of the artist's full professional kit, their travel within a reasonable distance, and of course, their fantastic artistic talent. For all-day events or larger corporate bookings, prices can be tailored to your needs.
Your Smart Booker's Checklist
Before you finalise your booking, it’s always a good idea to run through a few quick questions. This ensures everything is clear from the get-go and your event runs without a hitch.
Are you covered by Public Liability Insurance? This is a must-have for any professional working with the public.
What’s in your kit? A pro will be proud to tell you about the high-quality, skin-safe cosmetic brands they use.
What’s your painting speed? Asking how many faces they can typically paint in an hour helps you plan the timings for your event perfectly.
Do you need anything specific from us? Usually, it's just a table, two chairs, and access to a bit of water. It's always best to check.
